Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire Pitch Meeting

Step inside the Pitch Meeting that led to the Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire!

It’s been sequelized and animated and rebooted and sequelized again, and now Ghostbusters is BACK with another sequel before the animated reboot comes out!

Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire definitely raises some questions. Like why are there so many characters? Why don’t they use their flying equipment against flying ghosts? Why is Winston keeping secrets? What exactly what Garraka’s plan?

To answer all these questions, check out the pitch meeting that led to Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire!

_"We can't let anything die, ever."_
High quality joke wording for a movie about ghosts.

[ScofieldStudios]

Filling your 2 hour movie with 30+ characters is tight!

[Njald]

Love the "says so right here" and the angry waving of the script. Instant classic

[Puffleman]

I always love when Ryan's taking about something overly complicated and transitions from explaining to just reading from the paper, its such a gentle kind of sarcasm xD

[D-Rockk]

3:06 I loved that strong reaction to..

"Like montreal in February cold"
"OMG"

[andyv]

In Winston’s defense, the other three ghostbusters took out 9 mortgages on Ray’s house and by the second movie they were doing birthday party appearances. They weren’t exactly great at managing money or a business.

Long ago, the demon Garraka sought to freeze the world. Then, everything changed when the Fire Masters attacked.

[Geeksmithing]

I love how she melts part of the fireman's pole down for the brass but in subsequent scenes it is still intact and being used! So miraculous!

[JanMichalSzulew]

- It doesn't say so here!
- Oh, close one!

[DrakeBarrow]

They're introducing wizards? OK, technically either a D&D sorcerer or a really powerful pyrokinetic psychic or whatever, but shouldn't the old-school Ghostbuster guys be falling all over themselves to test him and see how his powers work considering that at least two of them are scientists and Winston has an entire facility full of specialists? Considering most 'magic' established in GB (including the cartoons) is either ritual based or object based, shouldn't having a human with the ability to directly manipulate the environment via supernatural means be right up their alley?
"Sir, I'm going to need you to stop overthinking this and get the way off my back on this one!"

[Natedogg]

1:42 definitely something parents let their children do in New York City! 😂💀

[FurryStockings]

That "final battle" felt very small, it all took place in that dang firehouse, and the villain barely moved from where he originally came in from lol thought that was hilarious.

[immaTraitor]

I'm at a tipping point with Hollywood and being a movie lover. Over the last few years it has become more entertaining to watch a pitch meeting than the movie/show itself. Subsequently, I don't watch many new movies anymore (like this one) and just watch the pitch meeting

"We're talking Montreal in February cold!"
J'adore !

[stuartjamieson]

I noticed that Possessor steals the wax cylinder because it can awaken Garaka without the Phoebe plot, when the cylinder breaks Phoebe is the only one who can be tricked into doing it. Though I don't see how Garaka could have known that phoebe would do the soul extractor thing, presumably he was expecting something like Frank being suffocated in the Frighteners to happen allowing her to be controlled while dying but not yet dead.

When I saw it in theaters, Ryan's voice was in my head during the third act:
Writer: So now the big boss ghost is headed to the fire station...
Exec: Uh-ohh!
Writer: Yeah, but since Phoebe's really smart, she's going to attach brass to her proton pack, which is the only way to make it work against the bad guy.
Exec: Oh, that sounds smart all right!
Writer: Yeah, so then all the Ghostbusters and the rest of the kids line up to meet the bad guy at the fire station entrance, and they're ready for their big ghost fight!
Exec: Do they have brass on their proton packs too?
Writer: What? No PHOEBE does, remember? She's the smart one!
Exec: Oh--
Writer: --Yeah, so all the Ghostbusters and kids and the Firemaster all try to shoot their proton packs at the big boss ghost
Exec: But didn't Phoebe tell them that wouldn't work on him?
Writer: I don't know!
Exec: By the way, where is Phoebe during this big faceoff?
Writer: She's downstairs, talking to the girl ghost!
Exec: Kinda seems like she's more needed upstairs, seeing as how she has that brass proton pack
Writer: Well she isn't ok?! She's downstairs talking with the girl ghost about girl stuff!! It's more important right now!
Exec: So does she rush upstairs?
Writer: No, she's going to be talking down there for a very long time...

Kumail also slides down the pole after she cuts the brass chunk out of it. It would also have been funny if he fell the rest of the way (as it is, the pole looks completely intact, oh well).

I was honestly way more excited for Ryan's Pitch Meeting than the actual movie. "Scary Balls are Tight!"

[noctisocculta]

"The family that busts together, " is an actual branding merchandise slogan for this movie*. Busting is TIGHT!

*someone in the comments mentioned it was actually for the previous movie, Afterlife.

[brevebe]

I solely watch movies to be up to speed for the Pitch Meetings now. And 100% thought you'd make fun of how the ice giant was freed and took care of the "fire master" at night. Then waited a whole half day to storm a beach. You are full of surprises <3

[jeanaprewitt]

What a missed opportunity. The scary ball was brass. We missed out on hearing, "Brass balls are TIGHT!"
